Strong 7.9 quake hits Costa Rica, tsunami warning issued


(Reuters) - A strong 7.9 earthquake rocked Costa Rica on Wednesday, rattling buildings and cutting power in some areas of the capital of San Jose, a Reuters correspondent and the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The quake hit close to Samara, a coastal area on the Pacific some 151 kms (94 miles) from the capital city.

A Caribbean-wide tsunami watch is in effect, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.

Could a mod change out sirgonzo to horn in the title? Got my members crossed.

Thanks, I had a minor brain fart!

[Chito]

That's funny - I was gonna start a similar thread just now about Horn!

[Poowssnople]

I have a friend in Jaco Beach, trying to reach him now...... so far, nothing. Jaco is in the NW corner of CR.

Hmmm... Maybe there are parallel universes. I hope Horn is OK though, 7.9 is BIG! Is he online?

[dwestemesse]

No doubt an assassination attempt on Jim Willie by TPTB using HAARP. And people call me paranoid?

Not sure where he is in CR.... Friend in Jaco is A-OK. Not even enough damage for looting (his words, not mine)

Alright here, was a long 45 seconds though. When they hit the beach they ain't so bad up here in the mountains, though it was probably the longest & forceful I've ever felt. The one a few years back was a shaker, this one was a heavy roller... Gonzo's here in Costa Rica, I had thunk he was pick'n with my homies in Kentucky?

I believe Gonzo is a Californian... or at least a Californicatian!

Good to hear you OK, any damages? Aftershocks?

Thanks for the title change. Yea! nobody is perfect.

Can't be, he's too Gonzoian to be just from Kali...

They had a hospital's walls fall of on a couple rooms down by the beach, is all. I'm in a 4 story apt. was thinking of slinging myself out on the power lines out front if it went down. No aftershocks yet.

Stay Safe Horn!

What is it with Godzilla and power lines anyway?

[FYvWldC0]

Horn had it right.

At night I lay my head in Dixie!

I've never set foot in California, and I don't plan on doing so..... so I'll take the second label but you'll have to keep the first!

So all the rumors about you being the leader of the infamous Cali Gang are false?

[LoveTTatall]

Stay Safe Horn!

Most the time I'm posting in just my underwear here, but would be hate to be caught in just a hospital gown on the street...

[Stoottnoiciek]

glad to read that you are alive and kicking Gonzo and Horn.... while central america is interesting and appealing, my travel companion and I could go even souther as we are fearing some HAARP induced earth changes affecting the region.

Not LDS-issued undies, I trust.
